Farm-loan waiver is not the panacea for farmers

Published on: 

It is most disturbing to see visuals of edibles being thrown on the roads supposedly by farmers to press for their demand of loan waiver in Maharashtra. While opposition parties enjoy such events duly aided and abetted by them, the media channels too reap TRPs by the sensational value that such news have. Even an illiterate Indian understands the value of water or milk and would never indulge in such sinful and nefarious acts. So, who are these people indulging in these actsIJ let these people be identified and booked under the law, as willful wastage of food amounts to heinous crime against food security.

Every individual understands a that loan has to be paid back under the terms and conditions decided at the time of receiving the money. Non-payment is default and default is a crime. We Indians even believe that any loan, if unpaid during the life, has to be paid back after this life. Wherefrom came the concept of waiverIJ The waiver of any loan encourages default and boosts corruption. Where is the civil societyIJ Why are the courts silentIJ Why can there be no campaign against the concept of loan waiverIJ let better sense prevail among Indians so that they have the courage and conviction to call a spade a spade.
